Since these days anybody with Nvidia/ATI card has to fight to have minimal 3D (even to play tuxracer, not to mention beryl/compiz fun) I think that rules them out. That basically leaves Intel on-board chipsets which are supported out of the box by any modern Xorg. An exception: One of my Pentium 4's have an on-board old ATI chipset (Radeon 9100 IGP) -- it was bought before found about better alternatives. This board "magically" started to have 3D acceleration after a normal update of Xorg ~6 months ago (the chipset is old and featureless enough that new versions of the free radeon driver caught up). While miracles like that may happen, I keep myself away from depending on them by avoiding ATI/Nvidia.
